Answer» Hey guys I installed sp3 for win xp home and so far I've had no problems with it yet I will keep crossing my fingers lol... Quote from: brett74 on August 05, 2008, 04:04:42 PM Hey guys I installed sp3 for win xp home and so far I've had no problems with it yet I will keep crossing my fingers SP3 works fine.... Not sure why there's a need to post about this, but SP3 should continue to work just fine. I've installed it on a few computers and haven't encountered any problems.I installed SP3 two days ago and while it was installing, Spybot kept telling me that there was some changes being made. I kept clicking "disallow" and I expected that I would have trouble but everythings still seems to be working.

So, you told Spybot to disallow changes being made by the installation of SP3? Why would you do that? Wouldn't the opposite be the appropriate action? I'm not sure what feature of Spybot you're talking about since I installed SP3 on my computer with Spybot S & D installed and got no MESSAGES from Spybot. Anyway, the best approach is to disable any spyware detection or virus detection protection software when installing new programs or major Windows updates, such as SP2 or SP3. Windows service packs install new version of many Windows system FILES, which antispyware programs are supposed to protect. By disallowing them, you end up with a partial service pack upgrade.

You can pull out the network CABLE if it makes you feel better. Download the service pack, disconnect your network cable, apply the pack, shut down, reconnect the network cable, restart. You should disable TeaTimer while installing or uninstalling any software. Personally I would disable it PERMANENTLY!

Personally I would disable it permanently! How to Disable Spybot's TeaTimer I agree wholeheartedly with this!I disabled Teatimer, removed SP3 and re-installed SP3, restarted about 3 times and just when I was reading a thread I get this notice that SP3 is ready to be installed. What the heck is wrong with M$?
